What Goes Wrong

Where Institutional Court Projects Fail

Cutting corners on base prep or drainage creates problems that no surface coat can fix later.

Wrong Drainage Slope

A base graded outside the 1% tolerance leaves standing water on the court after every South Florida afternoon storm.

Slope Designed First

Drainage slope is engineered during site assessment, before the base is poured, so water clears the surface reliably.

Surface-Only Patching

Applying a new coat over a cracked or uneven base delays the inevitable, the cracks return within one or two seasons.

Base Inspection First

A base-condition inspection determines whether resurfacing is viable or full replacement is the cost-effective path.

UV-Unstable Coatings

Coatings not rated for South Florida’s heat and humidity fade, soften, and lose grip within a year of installation.

UV-Stable Acrylic Coat

An acrylic color coat rated for high-traffic outdoor use is applied over the cured base, holding color and grip under daily sun.

Fragmented Scope

Splitting base work, surfacing, and hardware across separate contractors creates gaps in accountability and delays handover.

Single Full-Scope Build

One estimate covers site prep, base, acrylic surfacing, striping, fencing, and hardware through to final walkthrough.

Institutional Court Builds

Courts Built for Heavy Use and Shared Facilities

Institutional courts need a base and surface spec that holds up under daily multi-user traffic, not a residential-grade build.

The project sequence starts with a site assessment covering available footprint, existing drainage paths, and layout options. Palm Beach County HOA communities frequently convert underused green space or existing tennis courts into multi-sport layouts. The layout plan confirms court striping for each intended sport before any base work begins.

Base preparation for commercial sites uses asphalt or concrete with a drainage slope held to within a 1% tolerance, enough to clear standing water without affecting play. An acrylic coating applied over the cured base provides a UV-stable, slip-resistant surface rated for high-traffic outdoor use. South Florida’s heat and humidity make UV stability a practical requirement, not an upgrade.

Striping, perimeter fencing, basketball backboards, and pickleball net posts are all included in the full-scope estimate. For existing courts, a base-condition inspection determines whether resurfacing is viable or full replacement is needed. A final walkthrough confirms every element, surface, markings, and hardware, before the facility is returned to use.

Common Questions

Questions HOA Boards & Schools Ask Before Starting

  • What does a commercial HOA or school court project usually include?

    Every project starts with an on-site evaluation of the space and drainage, followed by an itemised written estimate. That estimate covers base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking. The job closes with a final walkthrough before sign-off.

  • Can a damaged old court be resurfaced instead of replaced?

    Yes, resurfacing is an option when the existing base is structurally sound with no major heaving, deep cracking, or drainage failure. If the sub-base has shifted or water pools after rain, a full replacement gives a longer-lasting result. An on-site evaluation determines which path makes sense.

  • How do I know if my court has a drainage problem?

    Standing water that remains 30 minutes or more after rain stops is the clearest sign. Other indicators include algae or moss growth in low spots, surface bubbling, and cracking that follows a consistent pattern across the court. An on-site drainage evaluation confirms the cause and scope.

  • How long will the court project take?

    Timeline depends on court size, whether demolition is needed, and how much base work the site requires. A straightforward resurfacing can finish in a few days; a full new-build with site prep typically runs one to three weeks. The written estimate includes a projected schedule for your specific project.

  • What hidden costs can come up with demolition or site prep?

    Unexpected costs most often come from poor sub-base conditions found after demolition, utility conflicts, or drainage corrections that were not visible before work started. The on-site evaluation is designed to surface these issues early so the itemised estimate reflects actual site conditions rather than best-case assumptions.

  • What affects the cost of a commercial HOA or school court project?

    Court size, number of sports, base condition, fencing height, lighting, and drainage complexity all move the final number. Demolition of an existing surface adds cost. Most commercial projects in Palm Beach County come in at $25,000-$55,000, with the itemised estimate breaking out each line item.

  • Should I repair the court or replace it?

    Repair makes sense when cracking is surface-level and the base drains correctly. Replacement is the better call when the sub-base has shifted, drainage has failed, or repair costs approach 50 percent or more of a new-build price. An on-site evaluation gives you a clear comparison before you commit to either path.

  • Will the new surface crack again?

    Cracking is almost always a base problem, not a surface problem. A correctly graded and compacted sub-base with proper drainage eliminates the movement that causes cracking. Applying a new surface coat over a failing base will crack again; addressing the base first is what prevents it.
